Beatles Challenge Fest II

The challenge of this fest is to complete some more Beatles albums. In previous fests, we've completed Rubber Soul, Revolver, The Beatles (aka the White Album), and Abbey Road. Any albums that get completed in Beatles Challenge Fest II (if it wins) will get their own jukebox as well as being included in the fest jukebox. We'll only allow Beatles songs which have not yet been covered in previous Beatles Fests from the following albums. See the complete list of eligible songs below.

I will strike-through the songs as they're done. But you can still cover those songs if you want to. There's no harm in having multiple covers of the same song, as long as they weren't covered in any previous Beatles Fests. The strike-through is just a way to keep track of which ones have been done so that we can concentrate on those that are not yet done and thereby complete the albums eventually.

I'd like to participate in the fest but I'm really struggling to come up with a song. If anyone's got any bright ideas I'm all ears.
